Featured Site: Pixel Trek


Pixel Trek is a simulation featuring a pixel art version of the Enterprise D from Star Trek: The Next Generation that you can explore as a little pixellated Lieutenant Commander Data. The results are surprisingly cool, wandering through tiny rooms of the ship and seeing familiar sights like the Battle Bridge or Data's quarters.  I’m not sure how canonical it is, but it does seek to answer some important questions, such as "How does a ship with a crew of two thousand and magical replicators in every room not have any toilets?"

According to an interview with the creator Daniel Saaba, PixelTrek is based on the original blueprints, although it's not to scale. He also added more bathrooms, and included a lot of Easter Eggs like E.T. and Lt. Arex from the animated series. He's creating the whole thing in his spare time, which is impressive by itself.
